Hi,

I'm the current lead developer and are mostly maintaining all of EasyMock,
the venerable mocking framework.

I'm thinking about moving it to Apache. My main interest is to find a new
community for it. However, I don't want it to stay in the incubator
forever. So I won't move to Apache if I don't get enough interested
committers.

The goal of this mail is to find out if there is any interest in
collaborating on EasyMock future development.

EasyMock is a great and highly used framework. I want you to help me to
make it greater. I has also the advantage to be a small framework. So it is
easy to understand. The code is mostly clean and is well-tested.

The give you a glimpse of my actual roadmap (which is extremely open):

   - Add more sophisticated verifies (e.g. Mockito style). I think this is
   a great feature that makes the test more readable
   - Java 8 support. Find a nice way to take advantage of Java 8 for mocks
   - Add spies

Interested?

Henri
